CAA ka swagat hai: Kapil Mishra

Delhi BJP vice-president Kapil Mishra, who was at the centre of the pro-CAA stir in Delhi in 2020, welcomed the implementation of the contentious citizenship act on Monday, saying the whole country, especially the national capital, paid a big price during protests against the law.

Mishra’s February 2020 speech at Jafrabad against the anti-CAA protests was alleged to have led to the riots that claimed over 50 lives, injured hundreds and caused massive loss of property in north East Delhi.

“The CAA is welcome,” Mishra wrote in a post in Hindi on X. “The entire country, especially Delhi, paid a big price in anti-CAA violence. The Modi government has finally fulfilled the promise made after independence and partition, with the Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist and Parsi citizens of undivided India.”
